Following their 52-14 loss to the Tennessee Titans (1-6) on Sunday, the Detroit Lions (6-1) moved to No. 1 in our NFL power rankings this week.
Yes, the Kansas City Chiefs (7-0) are still undefeated, but the Lions have been hot while the Chiefs have obvious deficiencies. If Detroit and KC met today, the Lions would probably win.
Elsewhere in the NFL, the Minnesota Vikings (5-2) lost their second straight game with a 30-20 defeat to the Los Angeles Rams (3-4).
The Cleveland Browns (2-6) surprised the Baltimore Ravens (5-3), but it’s way too early to rank them above Baltimore.
The Buffalo Bills (6-2) took care of business against the Seattle Seahawks (4-4) and the Washington Commanders (6-2) beat the Chicago Bears (4-3). a last second Hail Mary.
Following these results, here is how the teams stand in our latest rankings.
